34.Sh NAME
35.Nm isapnp
36.Nd introduction to ISA Plug-and-Play support
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Cd "isapnp0 at isa?"
39.Pp
40An
41.Nm
42bus can be configured for each supported ISA bus.
43.Sh INTRODUCTION
44NetBSD provides machine-independent bus support and
45drivers for ISA Plug-and-Play (isapnp) autoconfiguration of
46PnP-compatible
47devices on an ISA bus.
48.Sh SUPPORTED DEVICES
49.Nx
50includes machine-independent ISAPNP drivers, sorted by function
51and driver name:

568250/16450/16550-compatible ISA PnP serial cards and internal modems.

74.El
75.Pp
76ISA Plug-and-Play devices also have alternate ISA drivers with
77static ISA IO address configuration.
78These are listed in
79.Xr isa 4 .
80The
81.Nm
82bus ignores  device that have already been found and configured as
83.Xr isa 4
84devices.
85The
86.Nm
87bus is only effective on machines which lack a PnP BIOS, or  on
88which the PnP BIOS has been disabled.
89The manual pages for each individual
90.Nm
91driver also list
92the supported front-ends for other buses.
